Warsan Shire asked herself.. how far have you walked for men who’ve never held your feet in their laps? how often have you bartered with bone, only to sell yourself short? why do you find the unavailable so alluring? where did it begin? what went wrong? if they wanted you, wouldn’t they have chosen you? and what about the others that would do anything for you, why did you make them love you until you could not stand it? where did you learn this, to want what does not want you? where did you learn this, to leave those that want to stay?
